    Loved the "bought the family meal cause it was $2 cheaper than two burgers"!!!!

    Back about 25 years ago, when I was a "rich(???) young single guy" a friend of mine and I would go to Golden Corral every once in awhile for dinner. I noticed if you bought a burger and the buffet is was 50 cents cheaper than just buying the buffet. So I always bought the burger and took it home. My friend just couldn't wrap his head around why I did that. So I appreciate your story.

    And once you go solo, you'll never go back (to non solo)

    Great report! Love all the pictures from the Polo Towers vantage point. I am so curious about this place. Those loaded fries look great - I might make a special detour for them some day. Glad you had a good time.

    Nice report and enjoyed all the pics. Next time pop in Planet Hollywood and hit up Earl of Sandwich for a great sandwich at a great price for the strip. Glad the wife got to enjoy her sleeping.

    Thank you, @martinr! It's nice the minions are old enough to safely stay home alone--with other family available if needed. :D

    Thank you, @rooster42000! :beer:

    I will take note of that for any return visit! :thumbsup:

    Thanks so much, @luck.ofthe.draw! My bride called it Mini-Target. Just another shopping option between PH and MGM Grand.

    I noticed lots of folks seem to have gotten their shoes stuck on power lines. Ross and Burlington are good places to get replacements! :cool:

    Thank you, @Retrobabble! I love walking in Vegas! I'll try for that jackpot next time! :wave:

    I appreciate it, @LB9! Thank you very much! :D
